Mike Portnoy plays Nickelback for the first time

Post by Nate S Axel »

This board needs more Nickelback posts. Portnoy said he was going to play a gig with them back in 2022, when Daniel Adair was recovering from an injury.

He apparently has never heard them before, let alone "Burn It To The Ground" and plays along to it. He thought it was Mammoth at first. :lol:

Christ, I have such an irrational hate for this guy. Good player, but every time he opens his mouth I want to punch him in the face

Mike is a damn good drummer, but absolutely horrible with any sort of fame. Eddie Trunk-level lack of self awareness. Never did Portnoy have a gig as big as the Avenged album and tour. He seemingly cracked after that.
